Question

How do you convert $2.7$$\text{meters per second}$ to $\text{feet per minute}$?

Answer 1

Compute the required value:

Since, $1\text{meter}$ $=3.280\text{feet}$

And $1\text{second}$ $=\frac{1}{60}\text{minute}$

$1\text{meters per second}$ $=\frac{3.280}{{\displaystyle \frac{1}{60}}}=3.280\times 60$ $\text{feet per minute}$

Now convert $2.7$$\text{meters per second}$ to $\text{feet per minute}$

$\Rightarrow$ $2.7$$\text{meters per second}$ $=2.7\times 3.280\times 60$

$=8.856\times 60$

$=531.36$ $\text{feet per minute}$

Hence, $2.7$$\text{meters per second}$ in $\text{feet per minute}$ is $531.36$.
